More Definitions of Longitudinal

Longitudinal means a direction running sub- stantially perpendicular from a waist edge to a longitudi- nally opposing waist edge of an absorbent article when the article is in a flat out, uncontracted state, or from a waist edge to the bottom of the crotch, i.e. the fold line, in a bifolded article. Directions within 45 degrees of the longitudinal direction are considered to be "longitudinal." "Lateral" refers to a direction running from a longitudinally extending side edge to a laterally opposing longitudinally extending side edge of an article and generally at a right angle to the longitudinal direction. Directions within 45 degrees of the lateral direction are considered to be "lat- eral."

Longitudinal means research which is carried out over a period of at least 5 years before final results are obtainable.

Longitudinal means "running lengthwise," Webster's, supra, at 1333, and "axis" is "a straight line about which a body or a 3-dimensional figure rotates or may be supposed to rotate," id. at 153. Other definitions of axis used in various technical fields also explicitly include a straight line. See id. In general math parlance, a coordinate system in three dimensions has an x, y, and z axis, which are straight lines that are perpendicular to each other and used as a reference system to define points in geometric space. See id.

Longitudinal means a type of pavement marking with lines set parallel to the public frontage, repeating in a sequence across the entire width of the vehicular lanes of a thoroughfare to demarcate a pedestrian crosswalk.
